* XEmacs 21.4.19 "Constant Variable" is released.
"Constant Variable" is the nineteenth in the OXYMORON series.
The latest stable release of XEmacs, XEmacs 21.4.19 - "Constant Variable",
is now available from xemacs.org and its mirrors.
* Availability
Anonymous ftp:
ftp://ftp.xemacs.org/pub/xemacs/xemacs-21.4
See http://www.xemacs.org/Install/. As of 21.4.19, only a source
tarball has been supplied. There was virtually no use of the info and
elc tarballs, so xemacs-21.4.19.tar.gz and xemacs-21.4.19.tar.bz2 are
the only tarballs supplied.
If you already have a 21.4.18 source tree, a patchkit is available in
xemacs-21.4.18-21.4.19.patch.gz. This does not update .elcs or .infos,
they will be rebuilt when you make XEmacs. If you have an earlier
version, you can repeatedly apply patchkits.
The tarballs and patches are signed with my GPG key, available from
most public keyservers and also from
ftp://ftp.xemacs.org/pub/xemacs/pgp-keys/vin_shelton.asc

Also, if you don't have the packages yet, see
http://www.xemacs.org/Documentation/packageGuide.html.
Anonymous (pserver) CVS:
Anonymous CVS is available. We are very grateful to the staff at our
host, SunSITE.dk, for a lot of help and quick reponse to all our
requests.
If you haven't used XEmacs CVS recently, we moved the repository
before the 21.4.6 release. The repository structure is the same as
before, so it should be possible to reuse an existing checked-out CVS
tree.
Take care that your Root is set correctly to
CVSROOT=:pserver:cvs@cvs.xemacs.org:/pack/xemacscvs
On platforms with a Bourne shell and find available, something like
for r in `find . -name Root`; do echo $CVSROOT > $r; done
will convert your entire tree.
Tags are also the same; to update to release 21.4.19, use the release
tag "r21-4-19". To set a sticky tag which will always update to the
current release, use the branch tag "release-21-4".

Merge from 21.5.
* configure.in: Fixed `LDAP_OPT_ON' libraries configuration
introduced in local 2005-03-13 change of `configure.in'. However,
do not check for internal `-lber' `ber_pvt_opt_on' symbol as done
in upstream. This symbol is not part of any published interface,
it may exist or not exist, depending on openldap version. Cryptic
comment before using it in upstream 21.5 source did not state
precisely under which circumstances checking for it was useful,
which sort of user code tried to link the symbol. So in local
21.5 dismissed both the code and the comment without writing a
cleaner equivalent.
